Jack has always been a advocate of parental controls for television as well as supporting the TV ratings program and the Family Friendly Programming Forum.
Late last year, Jack launched MediaVillage.com. It is a community that gives a behind-the-scenes look into media, entertainment, and advertising. MediaVillage is the largest community website for professionals who are passionate about media, especially television. It is a community where members can interact by sharing comments, thoughts, and experiences, helping to keep them ahead of the game.
But, it is also a great place for regular people who just love television. I know because I am one of many moderators there. I love to talk about television with others. It has been something I’ve long been passionate about and I will be the first to admit that I watch way too much of it. It does not matter whether you like sports, reality shows, sitcoms, dramas, or game shows; we talk about it all at MediaVillage.com. There are also 17 great and timely fanblogs – you can even request your own!
